Daddy Don't Love Me

(专辑： Old Country Soul - 2021)

It's the bottom of the 6th
Number 9's on his way up to bat
Looking 'round at the stands
Wondering where his father's at
In comes a fastball pitch
That he sends to the fence for a home run, winning the game
While the whole team cheers
He fights back tears as he thinks

How come my daddy don't love me
He never comes to my game
He never answered my phone call
He just let it ring
I never see him on Christmas
And every birthday he missed
How come my daddy don't love me
Is it something I did?

Ten years up the road
Number 9's on his way to the big leagues
At the draft with his mom and his high school girlfriend Christine
And then a man walks in
Standing right next to him
With a smile on his face and a pose
He just shakes his head
And this is what he said when he spoke

Daddy, you never loved me
You never came to my game
You never answered my phone call
You just let it ring
I never saw you on Christmas
And every birthday you missed
No daddy you never loved me
Now get the hell out of here
